@billscher.bsky.social is so right about this ➡️ Trump’s Murderous Hypocrisy on Drug Trafficking Is Bone-Chilling. A president killing boaters on specious claims of “narcoterrorism” while pardoning major drug traffickers should be a major scandal. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/12/02/t...
Trump’s Murderous Hypocrisy on Drug Trafficking Is Bone-Chilling
Killing boaters on specious claims of “narcoterrorism” while pardoning major drug traffickers would be a scandal bloodier than Watergate.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Still a Hard NO. @GOP @senatedemswi.bsky.social
Republicans seem hell bent on trying to sell public lands. Members need to stand up and stop this giveaway of our natural heritage. The latest Lee proposal is just one more attempt to see if Congress blinks. (1/2)

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”
So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…
It was always a lie.

Bodies in motion will stay in motion. So, let’s keep this momentum going as we head into Monday. Congress is back in session on Monday and there’s still a lot of work to do to defeat the Big Ugly Bill and whatever spending bill spawns pop up. Stay informed and plan to take action.
